placeholder for the morning of said action; Iroh & Zuko pyromatics March 18 2011, 23:49:04 UTC
[The sun's risen. But it looks like possibly only one of the two firebenders are rising with it that morning. What could be the problem? Zuko continues to sleep, undisturbed and unaware of the sun beginning to peek over the eastern horizon.

... He might even be quietly snoring, he's sleeping so heavily!]

morning; Iroh & Zuko o_tea_p March 19 2011, 02:05:08 UTC
[Iroh himself has slept in, accustomed to Zuko coming to wake him. Sleeping in is the luxury of the old.

When he finally does wake up, he frowns with confusion. How strange! After getting dressed, he knocks on Zuko's door.]

Nephew! Time to rise and shine! I hope I did not bruise you too badly yesterday.

[But there's no response. Zuko doesn't hear the knocking or his uncle calling to him. He just keeps on sleeping!]

[Now Iroh is worried. He knocks again, then opens up the door when Zuko still does not answer.]

Zuko? Are you all right?

[He goes to nudge Zuko awake.]

[There's a snorting snore that's quiet, some shifting around beneath the blankets, and still no response.]

[Now Iroh's really worried. He shakes Zuko's shoulder.]

Zuko!

[A grunt and then Zuko tries to curl up a little more, mumbling:] Five more minutes...

[Shake shake shake]

Nephew, it is well past sunrise!

[Flails and squirms beneath his blankets and then rolls onto his back to force his eyes open. He groggily looks up at his uncle and then around the room, then to the window where the sunlight is beginning to fill.]

...Is it?

[Iroh kneels by Zuko's bed and places his hand against Zuko's forehead.]

You're freezing. How long have you been feeling this way?

[But Zuko feels fine. For now. Maybe he just feels COLD because Iroh still has his internal firebending uh furnace going.]

I feel fine. [Mumbles, gently pushing away Iroh's hand.]

You certainly aren't acting all right. Let me go get you some tea...

[It's taking him a little longer than usual to wake up, so he rubs at his eyes and face, blinking widely a few times. He didn't remember sleeping too late last night.]

Just tired, then.

[Iroh's thoughts immediately fly to Mai.]

Did something happen last night?

[Zuko lifts his head, still heavy with sleep, and stares up at his uncle. He blinks some more and then pushes himself up to sit with the blankets falling around his lap, shirtless. He's rubbing at his face again.]

No.

[He remembers now, it took him a minute, but ... he does remember the talk with Lina.]

[Iroh watches Zuko, his expression filled with deep concern, and waits for some kind of explanation.]
